About this ebook
The nail-biting third novel in the Night Angel series, from international bestseller Brent Weeks - an astonishing and epic tale of magic, violence and revenge.
A new queen has usurped the throne and is leading Cenaria into disaster. The country has become a broken realm with a threadbare army, little food, and no hope. Kylar Stern plans to reinstate his closest friend Logan as King, but can he really get away with murder?
In the north, the Godking's death has thrown Khalidor into civil war. To gain the upper hand, one faction attempts to raise the goddess Khali herself. But they are playing with volatile powers, and trigger conflict on a vast scale. Seven armies will converge to save - or destroy - an entire continent.
Kylar has finally learnt the bitter cost of immortality, and is faced with a task only he can complete. To save his friends, and perhaps his enemies, he must assassinate a goddess. Failure will doom the south. Success will cost him everything he's ever loved.
'Brent Weeks has a style of immediacy and detail that pulls the reader relentlessly into his story. He doesn't allow you to look away' Robin Hobb
'Nobody does break-neck pacing and amazingly-executed plot twists like Brent Weeks' Brian McClellan
'Weeks creates a rich blend of politics, culture and character . . . then throws in magic-using assassins' Peter V. Brett
'Unforgettable characters, a plot that kept me guessing, non-stop action and the kind of in-depth storytelling that makes me admire a writer's work' Terry Brooks
'Weeks has truly cemented his place among the great epic fantasy writers of our time' British Fantasy Society

Easily one of the best fantasy series I've ever read and was really hard to put down once I started reading. Wishing for story to continue from final book of this series and see what Kylar and others get up to next...

Read this years ago, saw it in E form and could'nt help myself. A absolute supurb ending to a already classic saga/trilogy. Needs to be read after the first two books to really get the full impact. Really hope to visit this world & people again with some new novels one day Brent! One of my all time favourites.

I really enjoyed the character development and how the story built to its exciting climax. The ending was bitter sweet, heart breaking but satisfying. An excellent read.
About the author
Brent Weeks studied at Hillsdale College, before brief stints walking the earth like Caine from Kung-Fu, also tending bar, and corrupting the youth. (Not at the same time.) He started writing on napkins and, eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent doesn't own cats or wear a ponytail.
